----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi all-- I am new to this list and indeed to this field, so excuse me if this question is naive or redundant. I am looking for: 1. names and numeric codes (geopolitical codes?) for France for all geographic levels (provinces, departments, communes, and anything smaller) 2. area (in square kilometers) of each region associated with such a code 3. population statistics (just numbers, not demographics) for each such area 4. all of the above for Belgium. If you have any idea where I might find this information (besides Minitel--I am currently trying to get access to that system, but cannot currently access it), online or off, I would greatly appreciate e-mail to me at the address below.
